    Is this really “world news”? 😕

    I mean, what’s new? We’ve known for years that companies are collecting our personal data online.

    Boy this was an easy article to write.

    But no one can collect your personal data if you don’t give out your personal data. When signing up for mundane sites where no money is involved, give fake info; fake street address, fake birthdate. Abbreviate your name, many sites will accept J Smith instead of John Smith.
